The Afghan energy company “Breshna” reported that supplies of Tajik electricity to Afghanistan will be carried out until the end of 2025.
The Afghan energy company, which is controlled by the Taliban, announced on Monday that the relevant agreement was signed by the head of the company “Breshna” Abdulbari Umar and the chairman of the company “Barki Tojik” Asozoda Muhammadumar.
Other details of the deal have not been disclosed. It is reported that the agreement was signed in Turkey.
Neither the company “Barki Tojik” nor the authorities of Tajikistan have commented on the announcement yet.
The energy company “Barki Tojik” has been unable to provide the population of its own country with electricity during the autumn-winter period in recent years. Across the country, even in the capital, a limit has been imposed.
At the same time, the company has established uninterrupted electricity supplies abroad. One of the main buyers of Tajik electricity is Afghanistan.
Among the neighboring countries of Afghanistan, Tajikistan is the only country that, despite having an active embassy of Tajikistan in Afghanistan and a Taliban-controlled consulate of Afghanistan in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, publicly speaks out against the Taliban from high platforms, takes an open anti-Taliban position at meetings of international organizations, and states that it does not recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan. However, trade and economic relations between Tajikistan and Afghanistan continue to develop steadily, with the authorities of both countries openly and secretly engaging in large business.
